Letter from Roger Baker to Herbert Cahoon, Paris, France, 1949 June 28 : autograph manuscript signed.

Praising Herbert for his recently published book of poems: "I think you should be very proud of this first book" and noting his favorite poems from the collection; humorously remarking upon the "authority the printed word gains over the written one"; expressing anxious anticipation for the critical reviews of Herbert's book; thanking Herbert for the inscribed volume and suggesting that Herbert may enjoy receiving one of Baker's drawings; informing Herbert of the departure from Paris of a mutual acquaintance, Ed; informing Herbert of his upcoming study with Leger [Joseph Fernand Henri Léger?] in Montmartre; complaining about the process of finding a place to live in Paris; requesting that Herbert "Tell Miller [W. Miller Wilcox, Herbert's partner] to give me a ring when he arrives" as Baker "would like to hear the latest dirt".
